Yes, yes. You got that right. We have a new host for BT Talks, BT’s podcast: Andi Moisescu. 😎

We hope you’ve got your headphones 🎧 handy, because the topic is more than interesting: we’re talking about volunteering, reforestation and education with Alin Useriu from Tasuleasa Social.

A few takeaways from the new episode:

• Volunteering is a deep kind of education for each person—and in a community context, it has tremendous value.

• In 1926, Romania had its first law on volunteering.

• Studies show the strongest feeling of happiness comes from dancing, followed closely by volunteering.

• Planting and volunteering, in themselves, are forms of self-education.

• If you teach a child to receive something, you can certainly teach them to give back as well.

• We’re a generation that can no longer pass our problems on to the next—we have to solve them now.

• Every community should have forest cover to cool and humidify the air. In Romania, there are localities with almost no forest at all.

• Romania’s average forest cover is 26% vs. 35%, the minimum we would need.

• This year, at Padurea Transilvania there will be a 7-day reforestation marathon across 20 hectares.
